"Froggie" the Frog

Saturday while playing in the backyard we found our first frog of the season.......well I think it's a frog but it could be a toad. To be totally honest, I am not sure I know the difference between the two besides the fact that one swims and one doesn't, but I have no idea which is which. This frog very well could be a toad but we are just going to go ahead and call it a frog......Froggie the Frog to be exact. That's the name Miss B decided on. He was hiding under the water hose and when Justin went to move the hose he started hopping away. Brooklynn thought it was the coolest thing ever.

For some reason I have a little soft spot in my heart for frogs. Back when we lived in our house that had the pool we were having this horrible rain storm. I was looking out the window and saw this helpless little frog frantically trying his hardest to get out of the pool. There was no way that frog was going to make it out of the pool alive if I didn't do something.....so I ran in the backyard (remember we are having a HORRIBLE rain and wind storm......like tornado kind of wind) reached down in the water a rescued that little frog. I am sure I totally made his day. ;-)

Every year we have two or three frogs that hang out at our house. I leave the outside lights on at night so they can eat the bugs. When I water the yard they get to take their showers. I don't bother them, they don't bother me.......it's kinda our agreement.



Froggie ended up hopping away and we haven't seen him since. Brooklynn keeps asking about him.....which is cute to me. Maybe she will have a soft spot in her heart for frogs like her Momma does. By the looks of it I think i am right!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday!!!

Just a few things.....




I have been meaning to save a little time in my day to blog but sometimes it's just not possible. I told myself Amanda you will blog tonight so here I am. :)

Here are just a few things that have been going on at our crazy busy house.

Braelynn has ALMOST perfected rolling over. She will get it pretty soon. She will just lay on her blanket and roll back and forth and grunt and then eventually get's frustrated and give up.




Braelynn also turned 3 months on the 3rd!! This has seriously been the fastest 3 months of my life. Seems like just the other day I was waddling around with a HUGE belly!



We went to Stars and Strips Park the other day after we took Brooklynn to get her allergy shot. She loves going to the park. Out of everything that they have at Star and Stripes the only thing she wanted to do was swing. We were seriously there for about and hour and Justin pushed her the whole time. She never even went down the slides or anything......she just wanted to swing. :)



I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!
